    Windows won't roll up

    Have seen this intermittently for a good while now. I wonder if it has anything to do with the recall that was to address the windows force detection when roll up was obstructed.

    Best to charge to 60%?

    50% is the least “stressful” state of charge for a lithium based battery, but there are some opinions out there about how the battery management system may respond to seeing such a narrow range in SOC.

    Gemini black wheel covers?

    Why I cancelled my order

    Yep these are pretty terrible. I'd never accept delivery of that car. My delivery experience surprised me. General expectations being what they are on quality control, I thought I'd have a couple minor issues to get sorted. Fortunately, my MYLR was a perfect specimen. Not a single flaw, after 3...

    In the face of a recession, should I buy a Y now or wait?

    Sorry if I missed this in previous posts, but whenever you decide to buy, if you want FSD you might consider the subscription model. It's $200/mo and can be turned off if finances warrant doing so. You'd be financing 12k less. 5 years would be your point of parity in terms of subscription cost...

    I cannot understand it AT ALL. What earthly reason could there be for this long a delay? Even the most arcane configurations have been delivered already (and it’s not like there’s a plethora of options). It’s as if some September orders have fallen through a crack in the delivery algorithm. Ugh...

    Any other owners second guess if their next car should be another Tesla?

    Turbulent days. IMO, Tesla holds senior position in EV engineering. Build quality is one thing (and Tesla,being more of a tech company, is not the best at it), but knowing how to ramp the product, how to update it (only Tesla and Nio can OTA update both software and firmware), how to maneuver...

    1 click away from ordering model Y

    Congrats! A GREAT decision you will not regret. I’m happy you ordered the red/white combo you fancied. You only buy your first Tesla once! Maybe don’t install the app right away. I was a cool cucumber until I had that big red “T“ on my Home Screen beckoning me to check, several times a day at...

    Tidal App: Content Download Location

    Has anyone figured out where Tidal stores downloaded content? The app allows album/playlist downloads (as far as I can tell, it's not possible to download single tracks), and I've been able to do this without a USB stick/Micro SD card installed. Is there undocumented native storage in the MCU...

    Yikes. I just can't understand how they are letting so many September orders languish. I don't understand what the reason could possibly be. It's not like these are exotic configurations, and they're rolling through October deliveries. It's nuts. My time on the wheel of torture lasted 225 days...

    Can't help ya. Look. I HAD THE PPF IN MY POSSESSION. But I became so enamored of this beautiful little beast that I just HAD to drive it around for 3 days before I could be bothered with putting it on. By the time I calmed down , I'd already racked up two chips. Honestly, I have no idea how...

    A quick PSA: if you live in a part of the country in which Tesla doesn’t deliver Model Y with mud flaps and shark fin PPF panels, I highly recommend buying them prior to delivery. Over the course of 200 miles on decent road (no gravel!) I got two tiny chips above the rocker panels. They’re not...

    Model Y Headrest Defect (warping)

    Skin-to-seat is my biggest concern, as I sport a cue ball haircut. I imagine if skin contact is causing it, the center arm rest should begin to show some degradation at some point as well.

    Model Y Headrest Defect (warping)

    I wonder if a coat of Gyeon Leather Shield or C2 quartz would prevent this issue? It seems pretty common, but no one is 100% sure of the specific cause.

    Just took delivery yesterday evening. They've got the production dialed in in Fremont. Quality is IMPECCABLE. Not a scuff or ding anywhere. Panels all even, no gaps. Literally a flawless car.

    Maybe it's the color combo? I have no idea. I know Black is one of the more common colors. It's hard to impossible to predict. All we have is conjecture based on patterns and The Algorithm. Yb123 and Jd2pictures had very similar orders and Jd was delivered on time (original March estimate).

    I wonder if there is something about Black/Induction wheels. High demand? There's a guy on YouTube (Myks Garage) with this config and it's been pushed back since August. Super frustrating. I'd think those batches from the factory would be bigger. That said, Jd2pictures (Tessi Vybz on YT) order...

    Aahhhh!!! The tension!!! Today, my SA over at the DC said they "expect" my car to arrive TODAY. And "if" all checks out with inspection and parts, they'll let me have it TOMORROW. Am I happy?

    My day was moved to 5/12, but this weekend the DC said they were expecting to receive it tomorrow. So, if everything is 100%, there’s a possibility you take delivery early.

    You should get an email indicating that you have an offer on your trade once they’ve assessed it. You’ll have to go to the web page and accept the offer, then they add it to your finance section.

    I saw that in the documentation I read when I was applying for financing with Tesla, but who knows. These delays are such a pain. I had to update my trade in odometer yesterday they offered $100 more. Now the lending agreement numbers are off. So many people praise Tesla’s streamlined online...

    What's good, Tesla folks? Just got a text from SA postponing delivery four days, from 5/8 to 5/12 (next Thursday). Wife will be happy - they saved Mother's Day. 😂😂😂 Text confirmed that the car hasn't arrived at the DC yet. It's all good; my main concern is parts hold.
